Good Performance, Fastest AMD quad-core To Date, Priced Under $200, Easy Upgrade For AM2+/AM3 Owners
Can't Compete With Sandy Bridge, The Last Of A Dying Breed
Current owners of a socket AM2+ or AM3-based systems looking for an easy upgrade that won't require a complete system tear-down can take solice in the fact that the Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition is AMD's fastest quad-core processor to date. Although its...
AMD's Phenom II processors represent solid technology that has stood the test of time, mainly through inveterate price cutting. Now clocked in at 3.7GHz for a quad-core part, the 980 Black Edition represents the pinnacle of the Deneb line, first introd...
Nun ist es also soweit, der letzte AMD Phenom II X4 betritt die Bühne, bevor im Juni – so munkelt man – in Form der Bulldozer-Generation die Ablösung erfolgt. AMD hat dabei mit dem Phenom II X4 980 BE noch einmal alles aufgeboten, was die aktuelle Archite...
The Phenom II 980 is AMD's last gasp for Deneb. AMD has not let us down with this release but if you are looking for Sandybridge performance, you are looking in the wrong direction. If you are looking for top notch performance, perhaps you may want to ...
Simple montée en fréquence, Rapport performance/prix, Overclocking restreint, Consommation

Good overclocking potential, Good performance, Good upgrade path for current AMD owners

The AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition is listed at being 100MHz faster than the AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition from the factory, but with our latest BIOS and benchmark rig setup, we saw a minimum of 4.01GHz with the BIOS set to AUTO. We ran all t...
Now that Sandy Bridge is here, it continues to be tough to recommend the top-end Phenom II processors. For the approximately the same price as the Phenom II X4 980, one can get the Core i5-2500 or 2400. These offer better performance in nearly every a...
Abstract: AMD på sin side trenger noe helt nytt nå. De begynner å bli liggende godt etter Intel i dette segmentet. Sekskjerneprosessorer fra AMD finnes også i samme prisklasse. Man skal imidlertid ha et noe spesielt bruksområde for at sekskjerneprosessorer skal være hensiktsmes..
It is fair to say that AMDs latest Phenom 2 X4 CPU presents us with no real surprises. It follows their trend of releasing new models at an existing price point and so offers consumers higher performance than the older 975 Black Edition for the same p...
